The California Energy Commission (CEC) has just passed the Replacement Tire Efficiency Program (RTEP). The Nation's first efficiency standards for replacement tires sold for passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks. Lots of people are freaking out about this because everyone is afraid that their tires will no longer be available to them. But there is a long list of excluded tires from this program. https://www.energy.ca.gov/proceeding/replacement-tire-efficiency-program-proceeding Solve Function Wolfbox: https://solvefunction.com/shop/ols/products/wolfbox-cord-coverDiscount Code: WolfSnail GROUP BUY: Its time to buy your Wolfbox for their G900Tripro.

Tired of shrinking to fit in? Feeling like a square peg in a round hole? These common issues can make us feel as if we'll never truly belong. We crave inclusion for many reasons. On an evolutionary level, instinct drives us to be part of a pack because we're more likely to survive. And belonging to a group of like-minded people can foster self-esteem while also reducing loneliness and anxiety. Yet, in real life, many people--from childhood forward--struggle with finding or fitting into a group that offers a reassuring sense of inclusion. And this can foster feelings of being unwanted, unworthy, and unloved. So today, we're joined by a highly skilled guest, Dr. JJ Kelly, who has a knack for helping others embrace their lovable inner misfit, grow strong, and shine.Topics discussed include emotional intelligence, emotions, feelings, DBT, dialectical behavioral therapy, self-love, self-like, inclusion, bullying, outsider, misfit, neurolinguistics, genuine self, authenticity, internal validation, external validation, parenting contracts, consequences, projection, values, pride, self-growth, personal evolution, parenting, children, emotional bullying, unresolved trauma, and transformation.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Details: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

This story includes discussion of suicide.Back in 2021, TikTok tweaked its algorithm in an effort to address dangerous filter bubbles — a sort of algorithmic spiral of recommendations for high-risk content like extreme dieting or self-harm. But internal company documents obtained by Bloomberg Businessweek show 10% of U.S. users — 15 million Americans — were purposely excluded from this safety update. This was part of user testing to validate the new feature and track whether it reduced engagement with the famously sticky platform.One of those users was then-16-year-old Chase Nasca, who subsequently died by suicide.

What do you do when the most evidence-based intervention you have is also the one your patient is "not allowed" to receive? Constraint-induced movement therapy has decades of research behind it, yet its exclusion criteria — especially around cognitive impairment — rule out a huge share of the stroke survivors clinicians actually see. In this episode, hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS, and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS, talk with neuro OT Briana Elson, MS, OTR/L, BCPR, CBIS, about her decision to try modified CIMT with an 86-year-old stroke patient who had significant cognitive impairment and underlying dementia — a textbook exclusion — and why his profile, a left-handed man whose affected side was his dominant hand, made forced use feel natural and salient rather than confusing. Briana walks through how she built the protocol around safety and supervision in inpatient rehab: getting a physician order for the constraint mitt, educating and enlisting his wife, keeping a consistent daily schedule, breaking the three-to-six hours into non-consecutive blocks, and removing the mitt before late-day sundowning. She shares the outcomes that surprised even her skeptics — meeting the minimal detectable change on the Box and Block Test and a standardized motor scale within roughly thirteen days, plus real gains in grooming and feeding independence — alongside the honest caveats, including that his cognition never improved and that real-world delivery never looks as clean as the published article. It's a practical, encouraging conversation about reading the research, respecting its limits, and giving more patients a shot at an intervention they're usually told they can't have.

She didn't blame the political climate. She blamed herself. Julie Kratz lost 90% of her clients in a single year, let her team go, and then did something almost no one in her position does: she spent 60 hours interviewing the very people her industry had written off, and discovered the entire approach to building inclusive organizations had been wrong from the start. Not wrong because of resistance. Wrong because the people with the most power to change culture were never actually invited in. What she found about why organizations lose talent, why one-time training makes outcomes measurably worse, and what she got personally wrong, not the industry, her, is the part of this conversation most people in her position would never say in public. This is not a political conversation. It is a leadership one. In this episode: Why 90% of leaders including white men in C-suites are either persuadable or already committed, and why that single finding changes the entire strategy What Julie got personally wrong, not the industry, specifically her, and why she couldn't have written this book today Why one-time unconscious bias training produces measurably more negative outcomes than positive ones The frozen middle: who they are, why they hold the key, and how to actually reach them The business case vs the human case for inclusive leadership, and why the business case alone has stopped working How AI is inheriting and amplifying organizational bias, and what leaders need to do about it now The dot-com bubble parallel: why the AI boom may be heading toward the same correction Iceland's 2008 financial crisis as a real-world case study in what mandated diversity on leadership teams actually produced Two real case studies from Julie's own client work: what catastrophic failure looks like, and what genuinely getting it right looks like Why shame as a leadership strategy produces the exact opposite behavior you want The parking lot story: three hours, a red shirt, and what actually changes minds What Dov's own team member revealed after years of listening to the show How to have one conversation with someone different from you that matters more than any training program What senior leaders really want when they get honest, and why quarterly returns are not actually the answer The difference between performative allyship and the quiet systemic work that actually changes organizations Connect with Julie:Website and free allyship training: https://nextpivotpoint.com Forbes weekly column: forbes.com — search Julie Kratz LinkedIn: Julie Kratz (K-R-A-T-Z) Book: We Want You: An Allyship Guide for People with Power.

Send us Fan MailWhen the Dance Team Excluded Curly Hair: Sydney Bresnahan's Story explores what happens when appearance standards unintentionally leave textured hair out of the picture. In this episode of the Hair What I'm Saying Podcast, host Kinetra Stewart sits down with former high school dancer Sydney Bresnahan to discuss the reality of navigating dance team hair expectations with naturally curly hair.Sydney shares how being in uniform often meant straightening her natural curls or wearing straight wigs to meet team standards, the financial and emotional costs of maintaining that look, and the moment she witnessed a teammate being told to straighten a synthetic curly wig before a performance. Together, they examine the difference between uniformity and inclusion, asking an important question: Can a team truly be inclusive if everyone has to look the same?This conversation isn't about criticizing one school or one coach. It's about exploring how beauty standards, performance expectations, and institutional norms can disproportionately affect dancers with textured hair.Whether you're a dancer, coach, educator, parent, or someone who's ever felt pressured to change your natural hair to fit in, this episode invites you to rethink what inclusion really looks like.Connect with Sydney by following her on Instagram!Support the showDo you have a story to share that's worth our listeners hearing, please fill out the Listener Letters Form and tell us your story!

Our culture is often filled with many divisions and a blindness that fails to our neighbours who are made in God’s image and the work of God Himself in the person of Jesus. In today’s story we will see how the hard hearts of those who should be the most ready to see Jesus causes blindness and how the faith of one woman reveals the heart of God who invites all to his table. A message by Peter Lloyd. The post Excluded to Embraced – Reversing the Curse appeared first on Village Church - Kelvin Grove.

Headline: The Myth of Birthright Citizenship and the 14th Amendment Guest: Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes birthright citizenship, arguing the 14th Amendment's original intent excluded foreigners. He critiques the concept of "tourist babies" and suggests the president's plenary naturalization powers could be used to restrict entry for pregnant mothers seeking citizenship for their children.

When your child is excluded from childcare, after-school club or wraparound care, the practical impact is obvious.  But the emotional impact is often hidden. In this episode, I'm talking about the shame, grief and isolation that many parents experience when the support they rely on suddenly disappears. Because for families raising neurodivergent children, losing childcare isn't just an inconvenience – it can remove one of the few opportunities parents have to work, recover or simply catch their breath. If you've ever received that difficult phone call, been told a setting "can't meet your child's needs", or found yourself wondering, "What happens now?", I hope this episode helps you feel a little less alone. In this episode, we explore: The hidden emotional impact of being excluded from childcare or wraparound care Why parents often carry shame when their child is struggling The difference between a child whose needs exceed a setting's capacity and a child who is "too difficult" Why losing childcare also means losing vital support for parents Letting go of self-blame when systems aren't able to meet your child's needs Why grieving the loss of support is a completely valid response If this episode resonates, I hope you'll remember this: Your child's needs are not a reflection of your worth as a parent. Sometimes families need more support than the systems around them are able to provide.  

Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss the fragile US-Iran ceasefire and a flawed memorandum concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Roggio argues the agreement effectively grants Iran control, while Haqqani notes GCC countries feel excluded and wary of de-escalation on Iranian terms.

There is a big difference between a boundary and a wall.A boundary is a friendly agreement that keeps people from going too far.But a wall separates people.A wall isolates people.A wall keeps people away.In business, there are few things more important than the management of expectations through the use of clearly-worded boundaries.In business, these boundaries are called “up-front agreements.”An “up-front agreement” clarifies – at the very beginning of the relationship – what is INCLUDED, and what is EXCLUDED.It lets everyone know what they CAN expect, and what they CANNOT expect.“Up-front agreements” are how you establish boundaries with your customers.Boundaries are friendly.Walls are unfriendly.When you tell a customer “NO” by announcing that something is against your “company policy,” you build a wall that protects you from your customer.That wall will also make your customer feel like they need to be protected from you.Boundaries give people clarity and confidence.Walls give people anxiety and doubts.Boundaries make people feel happy and safe.Walls make people feel angry and afraid.Businesses thrive and customers are happy when the boundaries are clearly known.A clearly worded “up-front agreement” gives your customers confidence because it lets them know the boundaries in advance.But any time you say “NO” to a customer by telling them of some unknown “company policy,” you are putting up a wall that says,“We don't want you here.”“You should not have come here.”“Please tell everyone you meet.”I have told you two things:If you want your business to grow, make your boundaries known so that everyone knows in advance what is – and is not – included, and what can – and cannot – be expected.If you want your business to grow, never, ever, surprise a customer with a “wall” that they did not know was there.– Roy H. WilliamsMost companies struggle with how to turn good ideas into successful outcomes. Jeffrey Lambert knows exactly why we struggle, and how to correct it. A veteran project-management expert, Jeffrey can explain in plain English why companies always benefit from clear project ownership, well-defined goals, and disciplined execution.As he tells roving reporter Rotbart, the best business plans and transformation initiatives fail when organizations rely too heavily on technology and systems, while overlooking the importance of culture, communication, and employee readiness.

Ordinary Time 04: The Excluded Ones

1. Tim talked about Abraham's story as the first draft of the Bible's favorite story: the story of “a God who longs to lift up the brokenhearted.”What surfaces as you think of this as God‘s favorite story? Where else do you see this story in the Bible? Where do you see this story beyond the confines of the scriptural canon? In history? In your family stories? In your own life?2. Tim talked about the “peasant revolt model” of reading the stories of conquest in the book of Joshua, drawing attention to the sharp contrast this reading presents to the vision of divinely-sanctioned genocide which many of us grew up with. What do you think about the ideas of these different readings? What kind of exposure have you had to other ways of understanding this section of the Bible's narrative? What surfaced for you as you listened, or surfaces for you now as you consider these various readings? How has the reading you have known up to this point impacted your faith? Would a new lens for these stories (if this is a new lens) make an impact? How so? How important does that feel?3. Tim served up a question that he suggested we come back to throughout this summer‘s study of the Old Testament: what does it mean to serve the Lord? Share about your answer to that question at this present moment, and tell a bit about how it may have evolved over time.

Adrian Wooldridge highlights the historical blindness toward women's talent among 19th-century reformers who excluded them from competitive examinations. However, the meritocratic logic of objective measurement eventually provided women with the tools to challenge these exclusions. A pivotal moment occurred when Philippa Fawcettoutperformed the top male mathematicians at Cambridge. The World Wars further eroded these barriers, as the state was forced to utilize all available intellectual talent, including thousands of female codebreakers at Bletchley Park, proving that vast amounts of hidden talent existed within the general population. 41680 CHARLES II

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has reportedly been left feeling increasingly isolated after being excluded entirely from this year's Order of the Garter ceremony at Windsor Castle. Andrew had participated in the event in previous years and attended its private pre-ceremony lunch as recently as last year, but his removal from the order meant he was absent from every part of the 2026 observance. A source described the occasion as a painful reminder of everything Andrew has lost, particularly because senior members of his family—including King Charles, Queen Camilla and Prince William—continued with the ceremony without him.His exclusion followed the loss of his remaining royal titles and honors as controversy over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein continued to engulf him. Andrew was also absent from Trooping the Colour and is now living in Norfolk while police investigate allegations of misconduct in public office; he was arrested on suspicion of that offense in February and later released under investigation. Andrew has consistently denied wrongdoing, but his complete disappearance from major royal occasions shows how thoroughly the monarchy has distanced itself from him and how far he has fallen from his former position within the institution.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

On the afternoon of Christmas Eve 1991, 23-year-old Dana Ireland was brutally attacked while riding her bicycle on the Big Island of Hawaii. What followed was a decades-long saga of coerced confessions, jailhouse informants, and a staggering miscarriage of justice that sent innocent men to prison while the real killer walked free. This episode breaks down the tragic murder, the flawed investigation that convicted the Schweitzer brothers and Frank Pauline despite DNA exclusions, and the eventual 2024 discovery of the true suspect. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

What if leadership didn't require you to shrink, shift, or sacrifice who you are?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Latisha Chisholm — researcher, social worker, and founder of Subversive Leader — to explore a bold reimagining of leadership development.Through her groundbreaking work at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Chisholm developed Subversive Leadership: a framework rooted in disrupting cultural reproduction and empowering individuals to lead with authenticity, agency, and intention.We unpack how traditional leadership models — despite being part of a multi-billion-dollar industry — often exclude the very people who could most benefit from them. From cost barriers to cultural misalignment, the system has long prioritized conformity over individuality.That's where Subversive Leader comes in.Dr. Chisholm shares how her AI-powered platform, featuring "Zmara," an AI intelligent leadership coach, is designed to democratize access to leadership development. By centering lived experience, context, and community, the platform offers a radically different approach — one that meets people where they are and helps them grow without losing themselves.This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt like leadership required them to become someone else — and is ready to challenge that narrative.-The origin and meaning of Subversive Leadership-What it means to disrupt cultural reproduction-Why traditional leadership development models fall short-The positive role of AI - artificial intelligence in expanding access to professional development coaching that was once beyond reach-How to develop your leadership identity without losing authenticityDr. Latisha Chisholm is the founder of Subversive Leader and the creator of the Subversive Leadership framework, developed through her doctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania. Her work sits at the intersection of leadership, equity, and innovation, with a focus on expanding access to transformative leadership development.#SkillDevelopment#Mentorship#Networking#PersonalGrowth#CareerAdvice#professional development#ai#aitools#artificialintelligence#aicoaching#blackwomen#blackwomenempoweringblackwomen

   INCLUSION is a very powerful word in our world, isn’t it? Most people welcome the feeling of being INCLUDED and resist any group from whom they feel EXCLUDED. This time of year, many people are relocating to live in other places or changing jobs so the hunger to be INCLUDED or BELONG can sometimes be nearly desperate. Question: how long of a period of time and what is the process required for someone to feel INCLUDED in your church or social group?  (Click here to see full text, images and links)    Pastor Doug Anderson    “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2)Have a comment or question about today's chapter? I'm ready to hear from you, contact me here.

Tried to call an expert to challenge the bullet science the State told the jury was never wrong. Excluded. Tried to play the audio that would show what Allen sounded like while confessing in psychosis. Excluded. Tried to present an expert who would have explained the crime scene as a pagan ritual rather than a lone attack. Excluded. Tried to introduce evidence about suspects who practiced those rituals, were connected to the victim, and whose interviews were lost or destroyed. Excluded. The defense even tried to present evidence about the quality of the investigation itself. Excluded. What the jury did hear: a State phone expert who Googled whether water damage could mimic headphones during the trial and was allowed to testify about what he found on anonymous forums — over the defense's hearsay objection. According to the defense's appellate filings, every meaningful avenue for challenging the prosecution's narrative was closed by the trial court.

The defense at Richard Allen's trial tried to introduce Blair's composite sketch of Bridge Guy — a man in his twenties with poofy hair, rated 10 out of 10 for accuracy, who looks nothing like Allen. Excluded. An expert to challenge the State's bullet methodology — excluded. Audio of Allen's psychotic episodes during solitary — excluded. Expert testimony that the confessions were false — excluded. A ritualistic crime expert to explain the crime scene — excluded. Evidence about alternative suspects connected to pagan rituals, the victim, and the crime scene symbolism — excluded. Evidence about the investigation's failures over five and a half years — excluded. The State countered phone data breaking its timeline with a witness who Googled the answer during trial. The defense objected to the hearsay. Overruled. The jury convicted on November 11, 2024, after hearing what the defense calls a fundamentally one-sided presentation. Allen was sentenced to 130 years. Every exclusion, every blocked expert, every piece of evidence the jury never saw — the State calls it all harmless error. The defense argues it was constitutional error that crippled Allen's ability to defend himself. This is the final chapter in a five-part examination of how Abby and Libby's case went from a complex crime scene to a conviction built, in my opinion, on a foundation the full truth would not support. The appeal is pending.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Colombian village of Briceño might, at first glimpse, look like many communities in the rural Global South. Many of the people living there rely on small-scale farming, even as a newly constructed hydroelectric dam threatens traditional livelihoods. Yet after decades where Briceño suffered from a bloody conflict, the village has more recently become central to the nation's hopes for peace. In Governing the Excluded, sociologist Alex Diamond shares a closer look at Briceño and offers unique insight not only into the contemporary Colombian state but to how people across the Global South are struggling to maintain rural livelihoods amid economic dispossession.Governing the Excluded describes a landmark peace process between the Colombian government and the radical FARC guerrillas from the perspective of Colombian farmers, drawing links between economic transformation, drug economies, and armed conflict. Exclusion from global markets for traditional crops like coffee first pushed farmers to grow coca, the raw material for cocaine. This ushered in an era of violent conflict for control of the illicit economy, while farmers continued to be priced out of legal markets. In exchange for peace and state protection, farmers ultimately agreed to sacrifice profitable coca. But with its disappearance, they now find themselves dependent on the state: for machinery to maintain the roads they need to get legal harvests to market, municipal jobs that are the only decent work available, and for public resources to subsidize food crops with razor-thin profit margins. Ongoing economic struggles in the legal sector make the state's newfound authority tenuous, as some villagers replant coca, abandon the village for uncertain urban futures, or join a rearmed guerrilla group.Informed by deep ethnographic research and firsthand stories from Briceño residents, Governing the Excluded shows that when it comes to the forces driving dispossession—be they international corporate megaprojects, global food prices, or national initiatives to replace coca cultivation—state authority goes only so far as its ability to sustain local livelihoods.

6. Headline: Debunking MACHOs and the Rise of Dark Energy Guest Author: Govert Schilling Summary: The search for MACHOs (Massive Compact Halo Objects) in the 1990s largely excluded them as the primary dark matter candidate. Meanwhile, researchers discovered that the universe's expansion is accelerating, attributed to dark energy. This mysterious force, which may be Einstein's cosmological constant, makes up roughly 68.5% of the universe's total composition. (6)MAY 1930

Rabbi Shimon derives from the words "et hamincha" that many additional menachot require hagasha (bringing the offering to the altar). However, he uses three other specific exclusions from the verse to exempt certain offerings: The two loaves and showbread: Excluded from the word "m'eleh" (from these), as these are not burned on the altar. The mincha of libations: Excluded from "v'hikriva" (and he shall bring it), as these offerings accompany animal sacrifices. Voluntary offerings of kohanim and the kohen gadol's griddle cakes: Excluded from "v'higisha" (and he shall bring it near), as these are burned entirely and no portion is given to the priests. The Mishna continues by categorizing sacrifices: those that require waving (tenufa) but not hagasha, those that require both, and those that require neither. The Gemara brings the biblical sources for the various sacrifices that require waving. Notably, waving can be performed even on the east side of the Temple courtyard. The Gemara questions why this differs from hagasha, which must be performed specifically at the southwest corner of the altar. Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov and Rabbi Yehuda each utilize a different verse to derive the source for the waving of the bikkurim. Why was only Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov mentioned in the Mishna? Two answers are suggested. Waving is a collaborative act performed by both the kohen and the owner of the sacrifice. The Gemara identifies the source for this joint action. However, an exception exists: if the owner is a woman, waving is still required, but the woman herself does not perform the act. The Gemara derives the source for this specific exemption. Converts are freed Caananite slaves are obligated in waving, as is derived from "hamakriv," the one who offers the sacrifice.

You can expect a star-studded tribute to Rob Reiner at this year's Academy Awards, featuring two actors from his iconic film 'Stand by Me' — though the often-chaotic Corey Feldman likely won't be among them.

Economy Status of the US Dollar as Global Reserve Currency: USD Share Drops to Lowest since 1994  Central Banks diversify their holdings into dozens of smaller “non-traditional reserve currencies.”  The share of USD-denominated assets held by other central banks dropped to 56.9% of total foreign exchange reserves in Q3, the lowest since 1994, from 57.1% in Q2 and 58.5% in Q1, according to the IMF's new data on Currency Composition of Official Foreign Exchange Reserves. USD-denominated foreign exchange reserves include US Treasury securities, US mortgage-backed securities (MBS), US agency securities, US corporate bonds, and other USD-denominated assets held by central banks other than the Fed. Excluded are any central bank's assets denominated in its own currency, such as the Fed's Treasury securities or the ECB's euro-denominated securities. It's not that foreign central banks dumped US-dollar-denominated assets, such as Treasury securities. They did not. They added a little to their holdings. But they added more assets denominated in other currencies, particularly a gaggle of smaller currencies whose combined share has surged, while central banks' holdings of USD-denominated assets haven't changed much for a decade, and so the percentage share of those USD assets continued to decline.   Central banks' holdings of foreign exchange reserves in all currencies, and expressed in USD, rose to $13.0 trillion in Q3. Top holdings, expressed in USD: USD assets: $7.41 trillion Euro assets (EUR): $2.65 trillion Yen assets (YEN): $0.76 trillion British pound assets (GBP): $0.58 trillion Canadian dollar assets (CAD): $0.35 trillion Australian dollar assets (AUD): $0.27 trillion Chinese renminbi (RMB) assets: $0.25 trillion Source: wolfstreet.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");  https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2004750391435755846?s=20 https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2004928015172821228?s=20 https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2004946780216328590?s=20  Political/Rights https://twitter.com/Patri0tContr0l/status/2004590513182367845?s=20  https://twitter.com/Geiger_Capital/status/2005107085865103608?s=20 ICE: 70% Arrested Had Criminal Ties Roughly 70% of illegal migrants arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the second Trump administration reportedly had been convicted of or faced charges for criminal offenses. New data provided to the Washington Examiner shows the Trump administration arrested about 595,000 illegal immigrants between Jan. 20 and Dec. 11, according to the Department of Homeland Security. ICE said 70%, roughly 416,000, had “criminal convictions or pending criminal charges” in the United States, underscoring President Donald Trump’s promise to prioritize the “worst of the worst” in immigration enforcement. ICE officials stressed that even those without U.S. criminal records can still pose major public safety threats, the agency said, noting many are wanted abroad for violent crimes or have ties to gangs, terrorism, or other serious offenses. “This statistic doesn’t account for those wanted for violent crimes in their home country or another country, INTERPOL notices, human rights abusers, gang members, terrorists, etc. The list goes on,” an ICE spokesperson told the Examiner. Source: newsmax.com   New Files Show Epstein Was ‘Too Useful' for Banks to Drop — Trump Was ‘Too Politically Dangerous' to Keep  The newest Epstein disclosures include deposition testimony that illustrates, in unusually concrete detail, how major financial institutions assessed risk, value, and accountability. The transcript does not add new allegations about Epstein. Instead, it explains why he remained bankable long after his 2008 conviction and why his relationship with major banks survived despite generating almost no traditional revenue. That institutional logic is the same logic that later drove JPMorgan to end its ties with Trump Media, and the contrast between the two cases shows how selectively these standards are applied. In the deposition, Paul Morris—a private banker who handled Epstein's accounts at JPMorgan Chase and later Deutsche Bank—described Epstein's financial profile with unusual precision. Epstein's trading was minimal. His accounts produced limited fees. He was not a high-activity client and did not utilize the investment tools that banks rely on to generate consistent revenue. By every conventional benchmark, he was a low-value account. And yet, the relationship continued. The deposition shows why. Epstein was not retained for his financial performance but for his institutional usefulness. Morris acknowledged that Epstein facilitated introductions to ultra-wealthy individuals that the bank viewed as essential prospects. One example was Leon Black, whom Morris identified as a “priority prospect” because of Black's significant net worth and influence in the investment sector. Epstein introduced the bank to real-estate investor Andrew Farkas and discussed a potential connection involving biotech investor Boris Nikolic, who had ties to Bill Gates. These introductions were specific, documented, and initiated by Epstein, not the bank. This is the key element that many public accounts overlook. Epstein was not being managed as a traditional client. He functioned as a relationship broker inside a system where introductions to power carry more internal value than account-level returns.

The Vice President of the European Commission, Kaja Kallas, sums up the European position: “The decision by the U.S. to impose travel restrictions on European citizens and officials is unacceptable and an attempt to challenge our sovereignty. Europe will keep defending its values — freedom of expression, fair digital rules, and the right to regulate our own space.” The “attempt to challenge our sovereignty” statement is a particular type of hubris when we consider THIS: GREAT BRITAIN (October 2024) – The British Labour Party is sending approximately 100 current and former staff members to the United States to work for Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign in key swing states. [SOURCE – LINKEDIN] Not only did the U.K attempt to challenge our sovereignty, but they also actively worked to influence the outcome of our national election in 2024. It is worth remembering the British intelligence operation, (Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), commonly known as MI6), was at the center of the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy in 2016. The first EU political group to be targeted with the visa bans includes French former EU commissioner Thierry Breton, who was one of the architects of the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA).

TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Trump Tasks Military With an ‘Oil Quarantine' Against Venezuela, as Economic Pressure Is Chosen for Now Over Military Action Venezuela's oil industry under maximum pressure.   And now that the extended holidays are over, the socialist regime will have to deal with the veritable siege imposed by the US and its unprecedented armada. Venezuela is running out of storage space for its oil production since some ships are being seized and many others turned around and left.  Now, it arises that Donald J. Trump has directed US forces to enforce ‘an oil quarantine' against Venezuela for at least the next two months. These moves lead many to think that the Trump team will focus on economic rather than military means to pressure Caracas into ousting Maduro.

Kennedy Jr. said he would cut off Medicare and Medicaid funding to any provider that offers so-called gender-affirming treatment to minors. “Under my leadership, and answering President Trump's call to action, the federal government will do everything in its power to stop unsafe, irreversible practices that put our children at risk,” Kennedy said at the time. The Oregon-led lawsuit claims that the decision “exceeds the Secretary's authority and violates the Administrative Procedure Act and the Medicare and Medicaid statutes.” A total of nineteen blue states are suing the Trump administration in a bid to protect the right to perform child sex changes.

As a US Army officer with a big checkbook courtesy of Uncle Sam, I can't really count the sheer number of times I was offered bribes to award a contract, or falsify records to do things like create larger (fake) headcounts at places like dining facilities, or to just simply be on the take for future illegal requests. Of course I had enough sense to never comply with such requests. Moreover, they were never explicitly structured as “bribes”; instead it was usually along the lines of “Here I have these Rolexes as gifts for you and your wife to show our friendship.” (Unfortunately, too many US officers and NCOs succumbed to this siren song and ended up breaking rocks in Leavenworth.) The weird thing about this to me was that whenever I turned down such an offering, it was treated as a grave insult. I was the one in the wrong, and not the fraudster trying to bribe me. They considered it rude that I was in their country and refused to accept how things got done. After all, why did I not want to help my tribe by helping their tribe? Let me repeat: in these cultures, FRAUD IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT. There is only what helps your tribe. Such thought processes are so alien to Americans and much of the West. We are raised on the presumption that our institutions are valid, that the rule of law always prevails, and that integrity is universal. We need these presumptions to have working governments and economies, and without those presumptions—without the mental barrier that causes us not to accept outright fraud—our nation would quickly descend into the economic and social hellscape of countries like…. ummm… you know…. SOMALIA! So when we import people en masse from cultures that accept bribery and fraud as routine, acceptable ways to advance one's tribe, we should not be surprised that things like the $8 BILLION fraud schemes of the Somali population in Minnesota happen so easily. Introducing a fraud-based culture based on tribalism into America is like introducing some sort of lethal virus into a population that has no natural immunity. The virus will spread and grow, unchecked, because it is so alien to the host. Similarly, a culture of fraud is anathema to American thinking, and it must be cut out before it consumes the host. So when you see and hear patriotic Americans decrying what is happening in Minnesota or elsewhere, and when they seek deportation of the offenders, it is not “racism,” it is not “bigotry,” it is not “xenophobia”; instead, it is preserving the American tradition of responsible institutions and national integrity. https://twitter.com/MarioNawfal/status/2005262465190223928?s=20 https://twitter.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/2005305530651189719?s=20   exploiting federal programs. Fraud that steals from taxpayers and robs vulnerable children will remain a top FBI priority in Minnesota and nationwide. To date, the FBI dismantled a $250 million fraud scheme that stole federal food aid meant for vulnerable children during COVID. The investigation exposed sham vendors, shell companies, and large-scale money laundering tied to the Feeding Our Future network. The case led to 78 indictments and 57 convictions. Defendants included Abdiwahab Ahmed Mohamud, Ahmed Ali, Hussein Farah, Abdullahe Nur Jesow, Asha Farhan Hassan, Ousman Camara, and Abdirashid Bixi Dool, each charged for roles ranging from wire fraud to money laundering and conspiracy. These criminals didn't just engaged in historic fraud, but tried to subvert justice as well. Abdimajid Mohamed Nur and others were charged for attempting to bribe a juror with $120,000 in cash. Those responsible pleaded guilty and were sentenced, including a 10-year prison term and nearly $48 million in restitution in related cases. The FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg. We will continue to follow the money and protect children, and this investigation very much remains ongoing. Furthermore, many are also being referred to immigrations officials for possible further denaturalization and deportation proceedings where eligible. https://twitter.com/ScottPresler/status/2004932316926193933?s=20 https://twitter.com/HarmeetKDhillon/status/2004976287270731981?s=20 https://twitter.com/rising_serpent/status/2005080344610177489?s=20  https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2005092720927232198?s=20  “skeptical jurors” in federal cases involving President Trump. Co-founder Alex Dodds said jurors have “enormous power” to judge the administration itself. Critics report the sessions encourage rigging trials against the administration, conduct plainly barred under 8 USC §1503. President Trump's Plan https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2004653262491058216?s=20 accomplished what no one else could. When we arrived, taxpayers were about to be on the hook for nearly $5 billion for a new headquarters that wouldn't open until 2035. We scrapped that plan. Instead, we selected the already-existing Reagan Building, saving billions and allowing the transition to begin immediately with required safety and infrastructure upgrades already underway. Once complete, most of the HQ FBI workforce will move in, and the rest are continuing in our ongoing push to put more manpower in the field, where they will remain. This decision puts resources where they belong: defending the homeland, crushing violent crime, and protecting national security. It delivers better tools for today's FBI workforce at a fraction of the cost. The Hoover Building will be shut down permanently.  They Got Her: FBI Caught Hillary Clinton Talking Donations with Foreign Felon on Tape As Hillary Clinton closed in on the presidential nomination in the spring of 2016, FBI field officers advised colleagues at headquarters to press her on the foreign donations flowing to the Clinton Foundation while she steered American foreign policy and whether she had used the charity as a campaign piggy bank. But the FBI HQ in Washington — a city in which the former secretary of state and first lady wields enormous influence — let the trail go cold. FBI New York Assistant Director in Charge Diego Rodriguez advised agents in Washington to ask Clinton several questions about the foundation, which are reproduced in full in documents released to the Senate Judiciary Committee by the FBI and published on Dec. 15. The questions reveal the concerns about foreign bribery that the Clinton Foundation case — codenamed “Cracked Foundation” — had uncovered. Among the evidence available to investigators, according to their questions: A recorded conversation between Clinton and Indian hotel magnate Sant Singh Chatwal in which Clinton discussed donations to the foundation and her remaining 2008 campaign debt. The new documents confirm that the FBI had at one time been “intercepting individuals associated with the Clinton Foundation.” Source: westernjournal.com  John Brennan's Lawfare Lawyers are Revealing More Than They Intend   former CIA Director John Brennan are sending proactive letters to the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Florida {SEE HERE}.  However, some of the information included in the letters intended to be exculpatory is actually damning against their defense position. You have to go deep in the weeds to see it but if you understand the details of the events, the information being revealed by Brennan's lawyers is the opposite of helpful to his case.  As an example, there is a citation included in a footnote of the December 22, 2025, [fn #20 page 6] letter that links to a March 31, 2022, letter sent to John Durham. Here's page 6 of the 2025 letter. Compare the underlined section to the 2022 letter sent to John Durham. In 2025 Brennan is telling the Florida court the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) conclusion was confirmed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in a “very serious review.”  However, in 2022 Brennan told John Durham that Robert Mueller never interviewed him or offered an assessment of the ICA; Mueller just regurgitated it. So, which is it? These contradictions are throughout both of the letters when you compare them side-by-side.  In 2022 former CIA Director John Brennan was trying to escape the Durham review.  In 2025 Brennan is trying to escape a grand jury review. [We are aware that the U.S Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jason Reding Quiñones, has access to the CTH public library of research into all of these historic events.] There are other citations in the 2022 letter that are certainly worth reviewing because the legally binding statements made by John Brennan at the time have been shown to be false in 2025. Another of the claims in the 2022 letter to John Durham highlights why it was critical for the CIA to assist in the capture and arrest of Julian Assange in 2019.

Energy’s way down. Gasoline is way down.” Over the past two weeks, a series of positive economic reports has shown that inflation is decreasing, with the White House highlighting the latest data while addressing cost-of-living concerns nationwide. According to a Politico poll conducted last month, Americans say they are finding that the costs of groceries, utilities, healthcare, housing, and transportation are too expensive. Trump has been fighting to reframe that, however, blaming Democrats under Biden for driving prices up. He said in the interview, conducted Friday, that “electricity is down. It’s way down.” “When the gasoline goes down, and when the oil and gas go down, the electricity comes down naturally,” he said. “But it’s all coming down. It’s all coming down. It’s coming beautifully.” Source: newsmax.com https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2004696380531503505?s=20   the NG will have quick response troops on standby in every state, the FBI building is being moved to a new location, the war between Russia and Ukraine is coming to an end, and all of Trump's pieces will be in place. There seems to be a shift in attitude. I think we are passing into a different phase of the operation. The shadow war will eventually have to come to the surface.
